PM binding for Os/2 Warp

PM binding for Os/2 Warp

[EMANUELE COSTA]

Hi,
        I'd like to know if there exist and how to use the PM binding for
Gnat 309 compiler under Os/2 Warp.
        Have you got any clue where I could find a good manual, even an
HTML format one, on how to programming the OS/2 PM manager?
        thanks
                EMANUELE

There are at least 3 thin PM bindings:

- ftp://cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/contrib/os2/bindings/ (K. Brunner)
- G. Bosch had released a version and a customized editor (EPM-based),
  don't have the address at the moment
- L.Dulman's bindings (look at hobbes, dev32:
  os2apipm.zip     236447 Jan 12 07:08  Ada (GNAT) bindings to the
  OS/2 API

C-based books: there are lots. For on-line advice look for EDM/2.

If OS/2 could 'walk on water' the front page headline in
InfoWorld would read "OS/2 CAN'T SWIM!!!".

I've got at least 3 sets of thin bindings for GNAT on OS/2, including
PM. I know that one was uploaded to ftp.cdrom.com back in January as
'os2_binding.zip'.

One of these days I need to collect my OS/2-Ada resources in one spot
and make at least the pointers available. There's also a good PM-based
IDE for GNAT out there.
Try http://wwwedu.cs.utwente.nl/~boschg/AdaPM305.exe
The author may have updated it. I found that I wanted to mess with the
installation quite a bit, but the IDE works and there are bindings.

I'd suggest looking on comp.os.os2.programming.misc for some of the
online efforts that are happening.

There are Ada PM bindings on ftp://ftp.cdrom.com and on ftp://hobbes.nmsu.edu.
I have to check where they are located.

According to plan I'll upload Leonid Dulmans new bindings to these two sites
next weekend.

As the author of this package I want to make clear that I have withdrawn 
the IDE.  The main reason for this is that there are too many bugs in
the editor which cannot be fixed, because that would mean rewriting
EPM. 

That was the bad news.  The good news is that I am working on GNAT for
OS/2 quite a lot lately and you will see the results when they are
available.
